Scisprint 2021 Early of June: solvcon devenv

Scisprint 2021 Early of June: solvcon devenv

We cordially invite you to join the short sprint for the development environment for solvcon projects. solvcon is a host of projects focusing on numerically solving the governing equations of transient phenomena.

The development environment, i.e., devenv (see the github page), is also a solvcon project, but has a much broader scope that includes the infrastructure for developing code for numerical calculations, which are the foundation of computational sciences and mathematics. The real-world applications, including physics, mechanics, semiconductor, finance, machine learning, etc., will be built with it.

Numerical calculations require writing high-performance code. The complex implementations call for tremendous amount of code to be written and it is not possible to do it all by a single team. External dependencies are necessary. However, because of the requirements of accuracy and performance, the dependencies are usually at the source level. Building dependencies from source is the norm. The project devenv is made to help the source-level dependency management and alignment for the runtime among developers.

Registration

Please join gather.town on the day of sprint !!

Date & time

05th June, Saturday, 2021, 15:00 -- 17:00

Agenda

  • 15:00 -- 15:30: Opening, introduction for devenv and solvcon
  • 15:30 -- 16:30: Let's build solvcon with devenv
  • 16:30 -- 17:00: Discussion

Requirements

We will need you to have a laptop or a VM running either MacOS or Linux. At the moment the project does not yet support Windows.

This time we hold the sprint on the gather.town and suggest to use laptop or personal computer instead of mobile device such like iPad or iPhone etc...

Venue

At gather.town, sciwork
